Why this server?
Builds ArchiveGrid search and record links for OCLC's ArchiveGrid service, allowing users to open fielded searches or collection records for archival materials that SNAC may not find; it does not automate ArchiveGrid access due to OCLC's terms of use.
Why this server?
Read-only integration with CONTENTdm, OCLC's hosted digital-collections platform, letting agents search curated US state archive and state library sites (death certificates and indexes, pension files, voter and prison registers, court and estate papers), read an item's metadata, transcript or OCR text, and its pages, and download page images through each site's IIIF image service with a citation core for citing the holding institution's item page.
Why this server?
Provides tools for searching WorldCat (the world's largest library catalog) and retrieving bibliographic records, editions, citations, and exports.
